Completing the Acceptable Technology Use Policy in ED 505: Technology and Education has helped me better understand both the benefits and the risks for students when incorporating technology in the classroom. As an educator it is imperative to ensure the safety of students at all times, including their digital safety. This assignment encouraged me to start reviewing the school year by reviewing internet safety and appropriateness with all students that enter my classroom.
